Someone clipped your wing mirror in Driffield town centre at the weekend, GFAW?

Nope..
Probably spent a bit too long today though watching truly disturbing videos of what's been going in Paris (and other cities in France) and to a lesser extent in London this weekend, and listening to a Winston Marshall podcast. Read a truly heart-wrenching post from a Parisian firefighter about what he and other emergency service colleagues had to face. What the hell are we (UK and Europe) becoming.
There's an argument to turn a blind eye and live in a bubble of blissful ignorance or denial, but I believe it's better to be informed, aware, real. It does come at a personal price though.

Same as it ever was.



Allegedly, apparently or maybe not.

unfortunately there is though!!
Time, emotion, energy. Not just in bothering to look at what is really going on, but also engaging with others in the hope their eyes are opened too.

Anybody that doesn't want to open their eyes is fully entitled to walk around with them closed as far as I'm concerned...

Pisses me off seeing what I see in some quarters and let's face it,we don't need to delve too deeply to see the reality(Certainly don't need to look into some dark web neo-nazi party,if such a thing is available).Other's don't see an issue,entirely up to them :emoticon-0148-yes:

They are ... so long imo as they then have no say (as they have little to no clue). It's ridiculous the number of people, supposedly intelligent, who really have no idea, and I don't mean that they just hold different views (also their entitlement), but who really have no idea. Anyway, I've said enough for today :emoticon-0105-wink:

There's no disputing the skill, and I'm no doubt showing my ignorance (yet again) but I think the same when I see henges, burial mounds etc, in that they live in the arse end of beyond, under harsh conditions, so I'd think spending time on something to eat, stay warm etc would be more important than making a fancy drum or big concrete goal posts.
